Sapper Sedgwick
British Army Royal Engineers
from:Doncaster, Yorkshire
I am trying to trace the movements of my late father. He was a sapper in the Royal Engineers and was captured at Tobruk in 1943. He was transported to a camp at Emilia in Italy, escaped and spent time in Costa de Aviano. He was recaptured in the summer of 1944 and sent to Stalag 8B. He returned home to Haxey, near Doncaster, Yorkshire in the winter of 1944/45. I am looking for information on the period he was in Stalag 8B and how he managed to get home.
